If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

As of yesterday, the Daily Dave now has Google Ads subtely placed in the right column. I struggled with the idea of doing this because it seems to commercialize the whole thing, but ultimately I decided to give it a go. Clearly, I don't do anything in this life with money as the goal, and getting a couple bucks a day from people clicking around on these ads isn't gonna affect my intergrity in any way. However, it might allow my to buy large Jamba Juice sometime, and I've always wondered what drinking a large would be like.

So, if you like what I'm doing here, please click around those ads every now and then to help a poor boy from the wrong side of the tracks in Long Island put a little coin in his pocket.

(If the Google people are reading this, I was never trying to beat you, but that just seemed like the right way to start this entry. I now pledge my eternal allegiance to you much like Darth Vader pledged it to the Emperor after he knocked Mace Windu out of the window. If you'd like me to slaughter the Younglings now just let me know.)

In other news, Bush selected a middle-aged white guy for the Surpreme Court. Most people seemed to think he would go with a female or a minority, but Bush once again surprised everyone with his choice. When questioned about the choice Bush said, "Look, I could've selected a woman or a minority, but that would've made it that much harder to overturn Roe v. Wade next month."

Super-speed broadband will give people internet access up to 100 times faster than standard cable modems as early as 2006. In response the porn industry is now asking all actors to start fucking a little slower than they normally would.

Sorry for "fucking" in that sentence but I didn't see a way around it. "Banging", "doing it", and "screwing", all left a little something to be desired.

Dancing with the Stars has been renewed!!! There is a God!!!

The Nets are close to getting Shareef Abdur-Rahim from the Trailblazers. There was almost a screwup in the paperwork which would've left them with Shareef Abdur-Wahad who is the Beirut bureau chief for al-Jazeera. Good thing Rod Thorn re-reads all his stuff.
